Reliving Michale’s Genius

"It’s a night in broadway that reminds us of how great a human being can be, against the odds, amidst loneliness or isolation. The performances of today’s artists are an ode to the excellence and greatness of MJ. The whole production and the musicians are a the bloodline of the show, allowing the audience to be moved into joy and sometimes, tears as Michael’s music fills the air and his dance moves delight our eyes. "

A GREAT SHOW!

"MJ was brilliant! A delight all the way through. It exemplified the genius of Michael Jackson and makes it more evident that no one has emerged to either continue his astonishing legacy let alone fill his shoes. From the moment Jayden K. White appeared onstage, the audience felt electrified as though MJ himself had appeared. It remained that way until the end. Jayden is brilliant! A true light in the firmament. "

Thoroughly Enjoyed

"What a fantastic performance! The entire cast did an incredible job, making it a show that was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. It was definitely well worth attending, and I would highly recommend this show to anyone—whether you’re a huge MJ fan or, like me, weren’t necessarily a big fan before seeing it. You’ll be impressed! 🎶👏"
